Beastformers are back too (Battle beast in Japan)

Here is a sneak peak at the manga

**Son of Keldor** · April 20, 2012, 08:49am

Glad to hear these are selling out like they are!

I'm sure i'll be ordering a case of each once it gets closer to the release date.

I'll be patiently waiting and suffice my toy addition w/ motu for the time being.

I still might get the dst versions as well, but these are my definite must have toys for the year.

=)

**mightybuck** · April 20, 2012, 09:19am

i must be the only one that prefers the DST versions. these takara ones definitely fit the style of the old toys, but i can't get over the boxy torsos. it's so distracting. there are some really neat designs for these, but that dice chest has to go.

**JonWes** · April 20, 2012, 10:21am

More blind packs are available on BBTS. I went ahead and got 3 more just in case.

YES! Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered three. :-D

**markatisu** · April 20, 2012, 12:23pm

They added over 500 more Blind Bags to their inventory so they must have called the supplier after such a quick sellout, I emailed them to ask if I could increase the amount of Blind Bags I ordered. I don't want to have to cancel my order and place a new one and the web management only allows you to decrease your already existing order total

**Son of Keldor** · April 20, 2012, 12:28pm

So the prices should go down no?!?!?

I sent inquiries to a few other retailers I buy from that carry Takara Tomy products and I'm waiting for a response.

How cheap are you wanting them? If you were to go over to JP yourself they would cost you $6.30 for blind bags and $19 for the 3 packs

I suppose if you order by the case that would be a great savings, I don't roll like that .... must be that cupcake money

**Son of Keldor** · April 20, 2012, 12:38pm

You Know It!!!

=)

**MISSILE-TOE** · May 6, 2012, 01:18pm

A little bit more info-

From these pics you can try and work out if they are going to be the same scale as the originals, based on the size of them in the person's hand in the photos. I don't have any original Batle Beasts to hand right now, but if one of you did, maybe you could hold it, and see if it looks the same size as the ones in the pics below?

Anyway->

**JonWes** · May 6, 2012, 01:36pm

Ah, cool. So they do launch the dice as some people have suspected. I like the tiger guy! He looks cool. I don't know if we can tell scale from the hand, though as it could be a tiny hand, sadly.

**BoShek** · May 9, 2012, 02:11am

I am so close to pulling the trigger and preordering them from bbts. However, all of the sets, singles and a case of the blind packs will cost like $250!

I saw BBTS was running low on their Cases of blind packs so I pulled the trigger and added 1 to my already large order. I am getting 1 of each single figure, 10 single blind packs, the builders sets and now a case of blind packs

Hopefully someone here will have some to trade come September or I will need to learn Japanese to get rid of the extras

**Son of Keldor** · May 10, 2012, 10:32pm

Impulse preordering I see!

I too was going to order 1 of each along w/ a case, but I know if they sell out of cases, they will order more like they did w/ the first run of preorders.

=)

**JonWes** · May 10, 2012, 10:36pm

I wish we knew how many unique characters were in the blind bags. I got 9 of them. Hoping between that and trading I can at least get the six they've pictured in the listing. But there must either be more to collect or just more planned soon because the tiger guy from the above pic isn't anywhere to be found in the solicitations.

Only downside to waiting is they will raise the price if its too popular, they did that with their Shadow Weaver preorders. BBTS ordered over 200 cases the first time and 500 this second time, they are proving to be quite the popular item I think.

I bet they will come with a poster that has all of them on there, or at least the website will. I know from other lines the Japanese LOVE variety so that might not bode well for our wallets

**BoShek** · May 11, 2012, 05:37am

Well I did it, I put in a preorder for everything but the overpriced colosseum.

Markatisu, I hold you responsible if I end up homeless on the street because I went bankrupt.

**Son of Keldor** · May 11, 2012, 07:46am

I'm hoping the they have a few clear characters to pay homage to the vintage line w/ the clear carp, gator & striped carp or (getting ahead of myself here) a stone looking figure!

The colosseum has a blue figure so they may do random unpainted versions too.

=)

**Reigner** · May 11, 2012, 08:08am

September is going to suck for my wallet. $300 in Beast Saga, on top of the TMNT relaunch. And that's not even counting whatever ELSE happens that month (god forbid Matt has a Glyos Drop then)

You might not need to worry about a TMNT relaunch then, I suspect that will happen in July/early August

**BoShek** · May 11, 2012, 05:53pm

$30 extra for a blue figure and a bit bigger middle of the area ... No thanks!

I won't actually be out too much since I will sell my extras from the blind case; that will help recoup the costs. I will give you guys first crack at them for just what I paid plus cheap shipping!

**midor** · May 12, 2012, 06:17pm

I went to my local comic shop and got my pre-order in for the american comic book.

Getting it on a whim. hope it's a good mini.

**Reigner** · June 5, 2012, 10:41am

**Pixel Dan** · June 5, 2012, 11:04am

Awesome!

**Bear-at-Arms** · June 5, 2012, 11:08am
